Our reports include both the findings of our assessment team and a learning plan. Our clinicians develop this plan based on their understanding of a child’s neurodevelopmental profile , and work with the student, the parents (and often the school) to devise methods to help the child become a more productive learner. Ideally, all parties collaborate to create a practical action plan that can be implemented at home and in the classroom.
Most learning plans include each of the following kinds of recommendations:
Bypass Strategies (Accommodations) - Bypass strategies help the student learn how to work around a weakness, so that he or she can experience success.
Interventions at the Breakdown Points - Interventions involve children in activities specifically designed to strengthen an area of weakness.
Strengthening of Strengths - These are strategies that allow children to keep on using and improving the parts of their minds that work especially well for them.
Affinity Development - This is a process intended to help children discover and deepen their natural interest in particular topics or subject areas (such as cars, horses, or nature). |
In addition to these kinds of strategies, other provisions of a learning plan might include medication, tutoring, counseling and additional services.
